Whats wrong with my perl!

damnyanks · 2002-02-20 22:07:58

I got a new perl book and started using some stuff from it, it had basic scripts like to find the version of your perl through dos and to do a little script through the command line as well. If you can make out http://www.blerm.com/pictures/perl.gif As you can see none of the scripts work, anyone tell me what I'm doing…

The perl executable isn't in your path.

Do you have perl installed?

If you do, you should have it somewhere like c:\perl\bin

Then simply type:

path=%path%;c:\perl\bin

at the command line and it will work from then on.

If you don't however you should check out www.activestate.com , they'll sort you out with an easy to install perl compiler for windows.
